I Taught a God, Yu Xiaogang

Xiao Wuji's mind stirred, and he sent out another new book.

"It's time to eat."

Yu Xiaogang had a habit of reading in the morning to keep himself from forgetting what he'd learned. The book struck him on the head, and he groggily pushed himself up from his desk.

When he opened his eyes and saw the brand-new book, he blinked. This wasn't one of his own books.

"I Taught a God?" Yu Xiaogang murmured. In an instant, his eyes flew wide and his excitement surged. He looked anything but freshly awakened. "Who dares?"

"Who else could have such ability besides me, the greatest Martial Soul Theory master on the Douluo Continent?"

Yu Xiaogang nearly roared.

"If anyone dares take the title of greatest Martial Soul Theory master from me, I'll destroy the Douluo Continent at any cost!"

Watching from Spirit City, Xiao Wuji was dumbfounded. Big Fool Gang's thought process really was beyond ordinary people. Was this guy going to refuse to read it altogether?

After venting for a while, Yu Xiaogang looked around. Once he was sure no one was nearby, he let out a cackle.

"Whoever you are, the method you've written for teaching someone to become a god has fallen into my hands. I, Yu Xiaogang, will study it and surpass it. I, Yu Xiaogang, am the only one who can teach someone to become a god!"

"That's so you!" Xiao Wuji silently gave him a thumbs-up.

[Yu Xiaogang was the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's sect master, one of the Upper Three Sects. His Martial Soul had mutated during Martial Soul Awakening, but in the worst possible direction.

Still, Yu Xiaogang never gave up. Though he was unsuited to cultivating Martial Souls, he carved out a broad and shining path in Martial Soul Theory.

In the end, he successfully taught someone to become a god!]

Yu Xiaogang skimmed the introduction in a flash, then stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "So, after all that, I'm the teacher of the god!"

"Hahahahaha! I, Yu Xiaogang, taught someone to become a god!" Yu Xiaogang laughed with unrestrained delight. "I knew it! I'm the greatest Martial Soul Theory master on the Douluo Continent!"

It took a good while before Yu Xiaogang finally began reading the main text.

[Chapter 1: Don't Bully an Old Man for Being Poor—Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang Takes His First Disciple

Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Awakening results had been less than ideal. But he had at least gained half a level of Innate Soul Power, giving him a chance to become a Soul Master.]

It was a simple sentence, yet the unparalleled sense of immersion was hard to put into words. Memories of the past came crawling out from the depths of Yu Xiaogang's heart.

[As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's sect master, Yu Xiaogang had access to exceptional resources, the finest Soul Master knowledge, and a perfect Soul Hunting team...

Despite "giving it his all" in cultivation, Yu Xiaogang was still stuck at rank twenty-nine as he neared fifty. He would never break through rank thirty in his lifetime, and could only turn to researching Martial Souls in theory.

First, Yu Xiaogang's opportunity had not yet come. Second, Douluo was destined to produce a god. All things were Heaven's will.

As the saying went, if Yu Xiaogang had never been born, the Douluo Continent would have languished in darkness through the ages!

And so it was said: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; never bully an old man for being poor!]

Yu Xiaogang read quickly, and by the end, his blood was surging.

"'If I, Yu Xiaogang, had never been born, the Douluo Continent would have languished in darkness through the ages!' And 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; never bully an old man for being poor!' Those words make a man's heart pound!"

He had a countless number of books in his collection, but this was the first time he'd come across words so inspiring.

Still, he was an old man, and the blood in his veins stayed hot for less than three seconds.

Just two and a half seconds later, Yu Xiaogang murmured, "Come to think of it, who's lucky enough to become my disciple and be trained by me? Forget ordinary commoners—even a prince wouldn't deserve to be my disciple if his aptitude were lacking."

Xiao Wuji had expected Da Fei Gang's high standards this time.

Yu Xiaogang was always saying, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."

If he wanted to, Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy had plenty of students with ordinary Martial Souls—trash, by any measure—who had somehow gotten the chance to become Soul Masters as work-study students.

[Exceptional people were often misunderstood by the world, and all the more so a master like Yu Xiaogang, who could teach someone to become a god.

Even the Upper Three Sects' disciples within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had plenty of complaints about him.

Through his connections with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang had secured a position as a visiting instructor at Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, where he devoted himself to researching Martial Soul Theory.

Then, one day, while out walking his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, he finally met a disciple he could train to become a god.]

"Walking Sanpao and meeting a disciple..." Yu Xiaogang read four lines at a time, scanning rapidly until he spotted a key detail.

["Luo, luo..." Luo Sanpao called out warily under his breath.

"A dangerous presence?!" Yu Xiaogang glanced at the distance in surprise.

Could there really be danger just because the academy gatekeeper was arguing with an old man and a child?

As he pondered this, Yu Xiaogang watched in disbelief as the child shoved the adult gatekeeper to the ground!

Sanpao hadn't barked without reason. Yu Xiaogang recalled his Martial Soul and hurried forward, his hoarse voice stopping the gatekeeper as he got back up and prepared to charge at the child. "That's enough. Stop."]

"He knocked the gatekeeper down with one shove?!" Yu Xiaogang was astonished. "Even the physiques of those who awakened the world's greatest Beast Martial Soul in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and gained enhanced strength seem to fall short of that. Perhaps this child has what it takes to be my disciple."

[The gatekeeper was taken aback at first. Then the anger on his face instantly turned to fawning flattery. The change was almost impossible to believe. He bowed and scraped before the newcomer. "Grandmaster, you're back."

Yu Xiaogang only glanced sideways at the gatekeeper, ignoring him. He turned to the old man and asked, "Sir, could I see the certificate from Spirit Hall?"]

Seeing the certificate described in the book filled him with delight. Yu Xiaogang drew in a sharp breath. "Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Why should a trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass have Innate Full Soul Power, when my Sanpao only had half a level of Innate Soul Power?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes burned with jealousy.

"Wait..." Yu Xiaogang furrowed his brows. He suddenly remembered what he'd read in his Martial Soul research.

Setting the book in his hands aside for now, Yu Xiaogang quickly flipped open the old book on his desk to the first page. Then he said, delighted, "Just as I thought. That explains it."

He'd been sure the child seemed familiar. That child couldn't have only possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul; he must have another one as well. He was a rare Twin Martial Souls Awakening.

Wondering what he'd done in the book, Yu Xiaogang set down the old book and picked up I Taught a God, continuing to read.

[After Yu Xiaogang finished examining the certificate, his gaze shifted to the child named Tang San. He looked him up and down a few times, then said to the old man:

"The certificate is genuine. Sir, I apologize on behalf of the academy for what happened just now. Leave this child to me."

A Soul Master was apologizing to him, so the old man hastily waved both hands. "There's no need to apologize. We were at fault too. Grandmaster, I'll leave the child in your hands. Xiao San, go with the Grandmaster, and be sure to behave."]
